Gondor nodded and sighed: "Don't worry about it for now. Let's broadcast the announcement that the Faceless Man is dead. It would be good to boost morale."
"Then take care of the ruins here and repair what needs to be repaired as soon as possible."
"Hey, our casualties this time were too heavy."
After a while, the casualty results came out.
A total of 612 people died... For Honggang people with a population of only 12,000, a mortality rate of 5% is definitely a huge number!
There is an atmosphere of sadness lingering in the cabin. In the faceless men disaster, many Honggang people lost their relatives and friends.
When I think that I am still trapped in the abyss, facing the vast unknown, and maybe such a powerful monster will climb onto the ship next moment, I can't help but feel a little desperate.
The blind Gondor gave a speech on the radio, trying to boost morale as quickly as possible, but obviously, the effect was not very good.
No matter how strong a race is, when faced with a life-or-death situation, panic and despair are the norm.
Only when it was mentioned that the extraordinary person was still healthy and would recover soon, many civilians and soldiers regained a little confidence.
At the end of this speech, Gondor said in a deep and rough tone: "Many soldiers died, many innocent people died, but just like our final destiny, in the eternal furnace, it became the final
Dust. But their spirit has been passed down, providing nutrients for our subsequent survival."
"We will open the source of the world for 20 hours... This period of time is absolutely safe. But it is only 20 hours, no more."
"Everyone, we don't have much time to be depressed. We must restore our organizational capabilities as soon as possible and survive as one united effort..."
"No more nonsense, the chance of survival depends on what we should do next..."
……
While Gondor was racking his brains, boosting morale, and organizing production work, Zhang Ming had a sweet dream in the medical room.
I dreamed that the rescue team on earth came to save me. I dreamed that the nurse sister with a nice voice and a mask was praising my body for being strong.
In fact, he only suffered some external injuries. "Burning Soul" superimposed the rules of the abyss and crushed the extraordinary monster "Faceless Man" one-sidedly. There were not many physical injuries.
It's just that his current mental state is really too bad.
The purple electric light in the depths of the ocean of consciousness constantly drives away the ferocious murderous aura coming from the will of the abyss.
Soon, the sweet dream turned into a nightmare. Zhang Ming went crazy in the dream, like a zombie, biting the white neck of the nurse sister.
At the same time, Zhang Ming roared "Ah" and woke up from his sleep.
He was panting heavily, and was also aroused by his mental illness. He visualized the "Xuanwu Visualization Picture" for a while, and then gradually regained his composure.
"Mr. Zhang, you're awake!" The excited voice of a Hong Steel man sounded next to him.
"How is that... monster?" Zhang Ming drank three glasses of water in a row before he felt that his "buzzing" brain was a little better. Even with heaven-level spiritual talent and the violent murderous intention of the abyss,
It’s really hard to bear.
In other words, this is the normal difficulty level for promotion to "Extraordinary". The rest of the Extraordinaries have mastered the strong idealistic rules at this difficulty, so they must all be amazing and talented people.
"Thank you Monkey World for providing the volcanic seal!" Zhang Ming praised in his heart, then turned around and asked, "What is going on outside? It seems a little noisy."
"A funeral ceremony is being held..."
Zhang Ming's heart moved slightly: "Then I'm going to go out and take a look."
Hong Gangren paid a lot for this battle, and many soldiers deliberately left alone to make Gondor's separation less abrupt.
Ultimately leading to the success of the sneak attack plan.
In addition, when the faceless man was escaping, many soldiers used their sight to prevent the opponent from teleporting.
From these two perspectives, they have indeed made great contributions...
The Hong Gang Man's funeral was very simple. The deceased's body was put into a large furnace and burned into small particles of dust, and the whole ceremony was completed. The burly Hong Gang Man was just a handful of dust in the end.
For them, the melting pot represents childhood, hometown and spiritual harbor. In the end, becoming the ashes of the melting pot is not a beautiful destination.
Many soldiers' eyes exploded, revealing two bloody holes, and they stood quietly by the stove.
They are not like Zhang Ming, who has the ability of the body to repair itself. Once they become blind, they will be permanently blind.
Hidden in the blood hole is ice that has lasted for thousands of years, with a hint of depth and a touch of sadness for the future.
Only when they listen to the cries of the people, the ice melts and becomes as warm as the breeze.
Zhang Ming was thinking, if humans replaced the Honggang people, would they perform better or worse in this disaster?
He doesn't know the answer, it might be worse, or it might be the same.
At least Zhang Ming believes that there is nothing to criticize about the performance of the Honggang people, and it is unlikely that a human would be able to do better.
Manpower is sometimes exhausted and cannot fight the endless natural disasters. It is normal for casualties to occur. There is no need to pursue the so-called "liability" issue.
At the end of the sacrificial ceremony, there was a low and solemn singing.
"When the furnace is lit in the winter wilderness, countless colorful tiger stripes flash in the flames."
"The lakes are dancing, the rivers are rolling, the sea is bubbling, and the white clouds are just the steam whistling overhead..."
"The hearts of Honggang people are like steel."
This simple funeral ended quickly. No matter how sad ordinary civilians are, they still have to devote themselves to work. The reality is so cruel. The dead are already dead, but the living have to continue to live.
"Mr. Zhang, have you recovered?" Gondor came to Zhang Ming in a wheelchair and sighed softly, "If it weren't for you, maybe everyone on our ship would have died at the hands of this faceless man.
."
Zhang Ming shook his head: "No need to thank you. If it weren't for the abyss armor you provided, I would have died in the hands of this monster. If the soldiers hadn't blocked its teleportation, it might have escaped again."
"We're all grasshoppers on a rope, so don't be so polite."
If you think about it carefully, if the Honggang people are dead and one-on-one, Zhang Ming may not be the monster's opponent.
"Do you have any means of regenerating eyes over there?" Zhang Ming pointed to the eyes of the soldiers.
"There are some ways..." Gondor said, "In our clan's practice method, there is a regeneration technique. As long as you break through the [Physical] level, you will have a certain regeneration ability."
"But the eyes are a somewhat delicate organ. If you want to regenerate, you need to cultivate to a relatively advanced level."
Zhang Ming nodded. The "blood coagulation and regeneration physique" he mastered actually needs to be cultivated to a relatively advanced level. Since the other party already has the corresponding knowledge, there is no need to teach him.
"As for the rest of the soldiers, they can either use some rare items to restore their light. For example, the Snake Man has some amazing items that can regenerate organs. Of course, the price is a bit expensive, but it is not as practical as another pension." Gondor
I couldn't help but laugh, "If they spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions just to restore their eyes, I think they would rather get this monetary reward."
Zhang Ming was slightly startled, this is a very realistic factor.
"Of course there is another cheaper way to restore light by installing artificial eyes." Gondor thought for a moment and then explained, "We know a civilization called the Poison Eye Civilization. Their bionics technology is unique and happens to be the same as
We have some friendship."
"Members of this civilization believe that flesh and blood are weak and can only ascend through mechanical means, so the Poison-Eye Civilization is full of ideas of transforming itself. Except for the fact that the brain cannot be transformed, they have developed almost all bionic components.
."
"The bionic eyes purchased from them are indeed very effective. You don't have to worry about this. As long as we can return to the base camp, no one will dare to treat these soldiers badly!" Gondor said with confidence.
He is also an admiral and has his own influence.
If he can't even take care of the heroes, how can he lead the team in the future?!
Zhang Ming fell silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, he sighed: "Where are the results of the Faceless Men's investigation? Have they come out?"
"Well, there are some discoveries! We found a very strange thing in its body, maybe a bone or something else... Please come with me here."
A group of people came to the laboratory.
A haggard Honggang man picked up a spherical substance with tweezers and explained: "The composition of this thing is similar to that of bones. As for why it turned into a spherical ball, it may have been burned by some special process.
The bones are calcined into something similar to a 'relic'."
"Relic?"
"Yes, it contains some terrifying supernatural power, so much so that it cannot be touched with the body, otherwise it will be seriously affected. The faceless man swallowed this small bead, which caused serious changes.
”
Zhang Ming frowned, trying to recall the strange sounds that appeared in his mind after putting on the Abyss Helmet.
"Is it possible that this thing is the relic left by the god [Six Blinds] in ancient mythology?"
The expert's face was not very good, and he smiled bitterly and said: "We have also made such speculations, but why did the relics of [Six Blinds] appear here and then be swallowed by the monster?"
"There is only one possibility. It is one of the main seals of the abyss, and now this seal is incomplete!"
Zhang Ming didn't have much reaction, he also thought of this possibility.
On the contrary, Gondor, who was sitting in a wheelchair, shivered fiercely and became a little restless.
You must know that their ship is directly above the seal!
